Afghan Fathers Face Unthinkable Decisions Amidst Economic Collapse
Fathers in Afghanistan are selling children, mainly daughters, to buy food and medicine as the country's economy collapses. Three in four people can't meet basic needs.

This is a heartbreaking situation where fathers are forced to sell their children. Reports show three in four Afghans cannot afford basic needs.

The Arithmetic of Attrition: IRGC Recruitment Shifts to Minors
Iran's IRGC now accepts 12-year-old volunteers for Basij units. This change violates child soldier laws and affects young people in the conflict.

Iran's IRGC is now accepting volunteers as young as 12 for its Basij units. This is younger than the national law allows.

Iran uses cluster munitions on civilian areas. Amnesty International has documented the use of children as soldiers. Neighboring countries live under the shadow of Tehran's expansionism.
Yet Western streets fill with marchers defending this regime.
Moral clarity is not optional.

Quiet week this time, only two movies. First a very successful (in the global top 10 money-wise) animated movie. Thought it was ok, but I’ve aged out of this style I think. And the second one is a 2023 documentary about children indoctrination and child soldiers recruitment. Not bad if you’re in a specific target audience I suppose.

"Stimiamo che il 30-50% dei gruppi armati sia composto da #bambini.
Le #bambine sono sempre più a rischio di subire violenze sessuali e di genere da parte di questi gruppi."

"Nel 2023 oltre 8mila minori, alcuni piccolissimi, sono stati arruolati ed utilizzati nelle guerre."
Le bambine non vengono risparmiate: reclutate per fini sessuali, matrimoni forzati, sottoposte a gravidanze forzate...
I'm feeling a bit conflicted.
My granddaughter who is 16 has been accepted into the British Army.
She's one of my daughter's children so we've not seen her for a few years.
On the one hand I'm pleased that she's found her way in life - and that she's going to be away from the dreadful influence of her father.
Equally, I lean towards pacifism and I'm against militarism. I abhor the idea of child soldiers - which she will be later this year.
As the world drifts blindly into World War Three I really don't know what to think.
